Unless you’ve been in Nursing school, lived with someone who has been in nursing school, or are a Nurse, you will NOT understand what we go through. I wish schools offered orientation for families/friends so that they could hear directly from the nursing staff about all that comes with this program. No one understands because they think that if you’re smart you will make it, or if you study harder you’ll make it. Or question WHY you failed a test!! It’s not that simple. In this program you can study for three weeks straight, nonstop, and still fail! Does it mean you’re dumb? No! Does it mean you didn’t work hard or study hard? No! Does it mean you aren’t built to be a Nurse? Heck no! This stuff is hard, especially when every single answer to a question is correct. Nursing is Gray, not black and white, and that’s what makes it so difficult. I’m in this program with sooooo many Intelligent people who are failing right now. It’s heartbreaking...it’s painful...it’s stressful and so very draining. We all work SO hard. No one really understands the sacrifices that we make every single day, just to not see the benefits from it. All the hours of studying and not being able to be with your kids (I miss them and they live in the house with me), the awards ceremonies we miss, family functions we have to sit out of, and so much more. Nursing school is beyond demanding! The stress we endure on the daily is overwhelming and Its important for family and friends to understand this. We need the most support right now 😭. We are fighting for our lives everyday because this is our Dream, and we want this more than anything! This is a small sacrifice for a much larger reward in the end, and all we need is support while we reach our Goal. The best thing anyone can do for a Nursing student is offer help/support. Help with ANYTHING. Wash/dry a load of clothes for us, cook dinner for our families once in a while, take the kids for a weekend (or two), don’t be so hard on us (because we are dealing with enough stress), help us clean up (because that’s the last thing on our minds), but most importantly, PRAY for us 🙏🏽..

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my 33 years of living. Somebody hold meeee 😩😭. #RoadtoRN #May2020

ETA: This is MY personal experience in nursing school. I can NOT speak on other career paths. I am sure that other career paths are hard, but Once again, I am speaking on MY OWN EXPERIENCE. It’s not meant to be disrespectful, rude, or insensitive to any other Careers out there, so don’t take it personal. That’s all.

‼️Update one yr later‼️ 🙌🏾I made it to the end. Allow me to reintroduce myself. My name Candace Hicks, RN 👩🏽‍⚕️

A Little About Me

Hello, I’m Alexandra. I am a dog mom to my 3 year old baby, Riley; in a relationship 5.5 years and counting; nursing student about to start nursing school in Fall 2019. It has taken a long time to get here and I have overcome many struggles in the process, but I’m finally here. I’m working on my BSN and currently thinking of specializing in L&D, Emergency, or maybe surgical. I am an avid planner who uses the vertical Erin Condren Life Planner and a bullet journal. I hope to inspire people with what I plan to put here.

About Me!

Hi all!

This Tumblr account will be about my journey to becoming a registered nurse. I will keep my identity anonymous, but will give myself the nickname “Velma” because I love that name.

A little about me:

I’ve wanted to be a registered nurse since I was 16. Growing up I always thought I was a failure; I never went to school, I had horrible grades, I got my GED (nothing wrong with getting a GED - it’s just that I was getting mine while all of my peers were graduating with their high school diplomas). I felt not good enough. My dad was always strict and stern, especially when it came to school. I deal with bipolar disorder, an eating disorder and depression so it was always the last thing I was worried about. Two events stick out in my mind that made me realize, damn, I want to be a nurse... The first, I always feel silly telling it because to others it’s probably so small and ridiculous - my dad had just had a cyst removed from his back, and he asked me to come help him change his dressing. After I finished cleaning it and re-bandaging it, he said, “wow, you should be a nurse”. I doubt he meant anything serious from it, but my dad’s approval means everything to me. If my dad thinks I can do it, given my academic past, then I definitely can do it. The other event being my grandpa being diagnosed with Leukemia. It was bad. I knew he was sick, but my young, uneducated brain just attributed it to him being old. I hated the feeling of being completely helpless - or so I thought I was at the time. Sure, I knew nothing medically, I couldn’t help him in that way. I couldn’t alleviate the physical pain. But I could be there in his final years, I could visit him and give all of my love in attempt to ease his fear. And that’s what I did. I envied his hospice nurse. She could help him in ways no one else could. But I was incredibly thankful for her. Then I realized I never wanted to feel this helpless again. If I could help anyone the way she took care of my grandpa, I couldn’t feel good doing any other career. May 7th, 2016, my grandpa passed away. He went comfortably, with all three of his kids and his wife surrounding him. I wanted to be that help for someone. So that July, I applied to volunteer at my local hospital. I’d never had a job before. I got started volunteering just at the information desk, and I got to walk family members to different wings of the hospital. I eventually upgraded to the emergency room. Not a lot you can do as a volunteer - I basically only cleaned things, restocked blanket warmers and made the occasional IV starter kit, but I loved the exposure. Shortly after turning 18, I took my Certified Nursing Assistant course, and I LOVED it. I loved feeling helpful, useful.. I felt important. I shortly after got hired onto a Coronary Care Unit/Cardiovascular ICU at a hospital and I’ve been there ever since. A year and a half later and I’ve learned so much both medically and about myself. This is where I’m meant to be. This is what I’m meant to be doing. It took a lot of courage for me to finally start taking some prerequisites to get ready for nursing school. I’m 20 years old now, almost 21. In July I will start taking English 101 and a simple “college success” class. This Tumblr is meant for me to document my journey and to help me stay motivated. Tag along this journey with me. It’s gonna be quite the road to RN. ❤️💉

Officially an RN

I wanted to write a quick update to those of you who followed along my road to becoming an RN... and I can't begin to say how thrilled I am to announce: I'M OFFICIALLY A REGISTERED NURSE!! Feels so sweet to say!! I graduated @ the end of December 2016. Didn't receive my ATT until the beginning of March and scheduled right away. I mainly used Uworld to study. I also was offered a position at my local hospital a few weeks before I even took the NCLEX!! I was in shock. So now that I'm an RN, I've officially accepted the position and start in a little under two weeks 😬!! God is good.

Very well said!

I always set my alarm to study like this. I get pissed when this alarm comes on because…. wow! C'mon! No student enjoys studying that much especially when you have to memorize a lot of diseases, diagnosis, prognosis, meds, generics, and the rest of the nerve-wrecking, toxic ways to be memorized just to save a life!

But, there! You got it. TO SAVE A LIFE! Guess, everything will be worth it in time.

In other news, I passed my minimester stats class with a B+! Next week I finish up with microbiology. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t struggling though...

Teaching on online classes be like 💜

One of the best decisions I have made so far, to follow my Mom’s footsteps — to teach like her.

I'm so thankful for the opportunity to precept with such an intelligent and wise nurse. The fact that we have such similar backgrounds is just affirmation of God's divine appointment. Praying for more opportunities to be a light for Christ. #allglorytogod #nursingschool #preceptorship #roadtorn
